Forms :: Auto Populate Text Boxes Based On Value From Combo Box
May 16, 2013I have a form called frmPO based on a table called tblPO One of the fields in tblPO is linked to the field idAddress in the table tblAddresses
The following fields exist in both tblAddresses and tblPO
Company
Address1
Address2
City
ZP
State
The form contains controls for these fields on tblPO. I would like to give the user the choice to either enter a shipping address manually, or selecting a preregistered address from tblAdresses. For this I would like a combo box showing the values of idAddress. I f a user selects a preregistered shipping address, I would like the form to fill the rest of the fields based on the value of this control.
My understanding is that I should set a BeforeUpdate event to set the values of the different controls, unfortunately my command of VBA amounts to 0.
Multiple Combo / List Boxes - Sort Based On Entries
Sep 23, 2013I am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.

Dependent Combo Boxes With Fields From Different Tables
May 16, 2012I thought that my previous request on how to create a dependent combobox based on selections from two previous comboboxes, but the example provided only worked if the fields were all in the same table. Here is an explanation of my problem...I have 3 tables:
-FoodType
-fruit
-vegetable
Color
green
red
yellow
FoodName
apple
banana
cabbage
green beans
kiwi
lettuce
lime
raspberries
beets
spinach
star fruit
strawberries
squash
tomato
I have 3 comboboxes on a form: cboFoodType, cboColor, cboFoodName.I would like to filter the value lists in cboFoodName based on the selections from cboFoodType and cboColor.For example, if I select "fruit" from cboFoodType and "red" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFood Name to consist of "apple;raspberries;strawberries".Likewise, if I select "vegetable" from cboFoodType and "green" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFoodName to consist of "cabbage;green beans;lettuce;spinach".

Jan 25, 2015I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
Populating A Table With Data Based On Drop Down Boxes
Sep 6, 2011I am trying to setup a database in order to demonstrate a tie in between active directory and the HR side of a business.As such, I would like to select two fields from drop down menus that reference in Department and Location tables, but use this data to actually Populate the Personnel Records table rather than Query.I know this is not normally best practice from a DBA perspective.
I have this setup already in Filemaker, just through using relationships.However, I want to move to Access, as it is more industry standard and much lighter weight, so am trying to find the best way.I have attached two pics of my filemaker database, and a zipped copy of my Access file.
General :: Auto-populating Rows Based On Primary Key
Jul 24, 2012I have an infopath form, which people in my company can fill out to order parts. The form is linked to an Access database. The primary keys for the database are the Order Number and the Line Number (where the specific part info is in the system). The form also takes info about who entered the order, when they entered it, etc.
My problem is that while the form will be used for only one order, it may be used to order multiple parts. So the infopath form has a repeating section with a table where they can enter multiple line numbers and part names, etc.If I use the form to enter just one part, everything works great. But when I use the repeating section to add multiple parts, the information specific to the repeating section is added to the database but the rest of the information (who entered, when the entered, etc) isn't.
My intial idea was that since the first part is entered correctly and the subsequent parts are missing some information which is already in another line in the database. Maybe if there was a way to pull the information from another line into the lines with missing info within access would solve my problem. So basically automatically populating the rows with matching Order Numbers with the information that is missing.
Combo Boxes On Form Not Populating Table
Mar 9, 2012I'm building my first Access DB for a while, so am a little rusty, but I can't seem to work out this problem.
I've bound my form, and all of the other fields are saving and populating the correct table, but I have two combo boxes, both of which populate a series of other text boxes based on the selection (eg. I select Joe Bloggs in one box, and it automatically puts Joe Bloggs' phone number and email address in two following boxes).
This all works, however when I save the record, or move to the next one, the data entered in the combo boxes and the related populated fields doesn't save - they just show up as blank in the record created in my table.
As an aside, how do I get the combo boxes & related text fields to show a default blank value until a value is selected.
Populating An Underlying Table When Using Cascading Combo Boxes In A Form
Jun 1, 2005Hello everyone
I have read the FAQ on cascading combo boxes and have managed to apply the theory to my DB's data input form (frmDataEntry) which is very cool and prevents a lot of errors however in doing so it no longer populates the underlying table (tblProductionDetails).
I am at a loss as to how to correct this as you can see from the example I need the customer and description field to be populated with the correct data rather than the fields I am using to make the cascading combo boxes work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Filtering With 2 Combo Boxes And Then Populating Text/memo Fields
Dec 14, 2004I have two questions.
I have a form with 2 combo boxes. The first pulls from a simple list. Once you make a choice, the second combo box is then filtered by the first. This works correct, except that once a choice is made in the first, the filter is locked. If you change the first combo box's value a second time it does not effect the second box. The query that I am using for the second combo box has two columns that pull the first 50 characters of a pair of memo fields. Quote: SELECT MSSS.SS_ID, Left([Application_Name],50) AS Expr1, Left([Description],50) AS Expr2, MSSS.Site_Code
FROM MSSS
WHERE (((MSSS.Site_Code)=[Forms]![Edit or Delete Requests]![Combo6])); These fields are then used to populate 2 text fields using an event procedure. Quote: Private Sub Combo10_AfterUpdate()
' Display Partial Application Name and Description based on choice
Me!txtApplication_Name = Me!Combo10.Column(1)
Me!txtDescription = Me!Combo10.Column(2)
End Sub This is working fine, but it starts the next problem.
I need to change the form to include the entire memo field into a text box. I was using the columns of the second combo box to fill them in. Since the combo box is limited to only 50 characters, i could only grab part of it. I am guessing there is a much better way to accomplish what I need, but I am too inexperienced with forms and vb to come up with it. Below are the fields I need from table MSSS
Business_Name
Application_Name
Description
Acronym
Level_1_Support
Level_2_Support
Escalation_process
Troubleshooting
Priority
Links
Modified
Disabled
Thanks in advance to any help!
Populating Combo Box Based On Data In Another Combo Box
Jan 23, 2006Hi all!
It's been a while since I've used Access, and I seem to have forgotten this.
I have a form which allows entry of Borrower's details. I have 2 combo boxes on the form.
They are:
cboBorrName
cboLoanSN
Once the user selects the name from the cboBorrName, I want the cboLoanSN to display all loans associated with the Borrower so that they can select the correct loan and add repayment details accordingly.
I have added the following SQL statement as the record source of cboLoanSN
Code:SELECT * from tblBorrower WHERE tblBorrower.fldLoanSN=[Forms]![frmBorrower]![cboBorrName]
I have also added the following code in the After Update event of cboBorrName
Code:Me.cboLoanSN.Requery
However, it doesn't work.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks a bunch!
Forms :: Subform - Combo Box List Not Populating According To Main Control

Policies (Id, Client Id, Address, Policy Amount, Paid)
Payments (Id, Client Id, Total Amount)
Payment Details (Payment Id, Policy Id, Paid Amount)
I have created a form "PAYMENTS" that include a sub form "PAYMENT DETAILS".
In the sub form control Policy Id is defined as combo box, and retrieving the list from Policies and Payments where Policies.Client=Payments.Client the query of Combo Box is as follows:
Code:
SELECT POLICIES.[POLICY ID]
FROM POLICIES
WHERE (((POLICIES.PAID)=False) AND ((POLICIES.CLIENT)=[Forms]![PAYMENTS]![ClientId]));
Only first time Combo Box display the Policy Ids according to the Client, but when I change the client and always displays the previous clients Policy Ids.
how to retrieve correct list of Policy Ids according to the Input Client in Payments.Client control
Queries :: Populating One Combo Box Based On Selection In Another
Jul 20, 2014I can't quite get my code right for populating one combo box based on the selection in another. I didn't create this Access database but I've been asked to add in a second combo box that is based on the selection of the first combo box.
My first combo box is for Rohe (the location of the Maori tribe) and the second is Iwi (the tribe name). So my first combo box (Rohe) has Dvic_ROHE written in the control source and its row source code is:
SELECT tblLookUpValues.DatabaseFieldValue
FROM tblLookUpValues INNER JOIN tblFormQuestionLookUp ON tblLookUpValues.LookUpID = tblFormQuestionLookUp.LookUpID
WHERE (((tblFormQuestionLookUp.FormID)=2) AND ((tblFormQuestionLookUp.QuestionNumber)=75))
ORDER BY tblLookUpValues.DisplayOrder;
The combo box for Rohe (tribe location) is populated by a table named tblLookUpValues. The second combo box for Iwi (tribe) has Dvic_Iwi in the control source. I created a table named tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup that contains ROHE (a list of tribe locations) and IWI (the tribes). There are 12 tribal locations and another 10-14 tribes in each location.
The form that the Rohe and Iwi combo boxes are located on is called frmDeceased. This is the code that I attempted to write so that the second combo box (Iwi) is populated with only the tribes that are in the Rohe (location) that was selected from the Rohe combo box. But when I run the query it comes back with no results.
SELECT distinct tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Rohe, tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Iwi
FROM tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup
WHERE (((tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Rohe)=[forms]![frmDeceased]![Dvic_Rohe])) UNION select distinct null, null
FROM tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup
ORDER BY tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Iwi;
Forms :: Populating Combo Box Based On Text Box
Nov 19, 2013I have a text box that displays a name of a law from one table, based on that law name I want to populate a combo box with different options on how to comply with that law that come from a different table. The compliance options I need to pull in are different for each law. Finally I would like to have the selected option saved in the table the laws are coming from.
I have tried using a rowsource query [Form]![form1]![Law] for the combo box of law options but keep getting errors.

View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: Populating Text Box Based On Combo Box - Separate Form
Aug 14, 2015The main issue I'm having is trying to populate a text box based on a combo box selection. I've found threads on that - the twist that is throwing me for a loop is that I'm dealing with two different forms.
I have a main/welcome form with two combo boxes on it. Based on the user's selections in these two combo boxes, two different forms are opened for data entry. For instance, box 1 has A, B, C and box 2 has x, y, z. If a user chooses B and z, then form B and form z are opened. What I want is for a text box to be populated on one of the opened forms, not the same (main/welcome) form. In other words, when B and z are chosen, I would like there to be a textbox autofilled with "z" on form z.
List Boxes And Combo Boxes
Feb 28, 2007Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.
Tables :: Auto Populating A Field Based On Selection Of Other Field
Jun 27, 2014I (will have) a form which a user fills in to enter new data.
I have two fields,
"Branch" and "Branch ID" (Branch ID will not be on the form, just in the table)
Branch will be fed by a combo box with seven choices. I would like it so that when "Branch" is populated it autopopulates Branch ID with a code which relates to the branch, so for example
BRANCH BRANCH ID
Braintree BRA
Colchester COL
Queries :: Auto-Populate Cascading Combo Boxes
Dec 18, 2013I am working on a database where law clerks input the tasks that they accomplish each day. They use a form called "TaskDetails" to input all of the information related to their daily tasks via combo boxes. The problem I have is: often times the clerks work on the same task more than once and I would like them to be able to continue tasks already in progress - using notes to indicate what particular portion they completed that day.
In order to do this I would like to have a combo box that is based on a query of all of the tasks the clerks have completed. When they select a Task Name from the combo box, I would like all other combo boxes on the page to auto-populate based on the selection.The query that my combo box is based on includes all relevant fields.
When I click on the "Task Name" combo box I am presented with all of the records related to tasks. The fields/columns are divisionofwork, subcategory, workassignedby. I have combo boxes for all of these fields on the same page, bound to the table of tasks. Ideally, a clerk makes a selection from the "Task Name" combo box, and the subsequent 3 combo boxes will reference their relevant column in this selection and auto-populate.
Text Boxes Auto Fill After Combo Box Update?
Jul 13, 2015GOAL: select the IC number from the combo box and have 5 text boxes auto fill.
I have a table made for the IC number drop down. The columns represent the fields that need to be auto filled.
Making some kind of query to link the combo box entry to the text boxes? Some VBA where the control source is equal to my query? I have tried changing the text box control source to equal columns from my drop down but that did not work.
NOTE: the blue font in the first image represents the text boxes that need to auto fill when I select the IC number from the drop down. The second image is my table from which my combo box is generated. The acronyms are for the two tests on this form.

Using 2 Combo Boxes - 2nd One List Depending On Selection In First
Sep 23, 2005(pls see end of thread for further clarification)
Hi
I am trying to achieve the following using 2 combo boxes
Box "a" is a list of courses from tbl_training_courses. The user selects the appropriate course.
Box "b" is a list of dates for each course from tbl_course_dates. Thus the user can select which date per course they want to book someone onto, and this value is then stored in tbl_training_record as the date the person is booked onto.
Its not working!!! It either displays blank values, or it starts a parameter query which I didnt want.
In the combo wizard, access refers to "remembering the value selected for later use" - i guess this might be what I need to use, remembering the value from the first and using it to select rows for the 2nd box based on identical courseID - but I can't seem to find this in Help file.
Any ideas anyone?
